The poetic contours of Hindi (Hindavi) are deeply shaped by the literary expressions of spirituality associated with medieval Hindu and Sufi traditions. Readers of bhakti voices in Hindi are familiar with panths, paramparas, silsilas and poetic shapes of pada, doha, chaupai, and musical renditions such as bani, bhajan,
Indian English poetry started with the poems of Henry Derozio, Kashiprasad Ghose, Michael Madhusudan Dutt, Manmohan Ghose. These poets were influenced by their English contemporaries of romanticism viz. Byron, Shelley, Keats, Scott and Moore. Toru Dutt was one among these romantic poets who emphasized on India and her heritage by incorporating a large number of Indian legends in her verse. The romantic Toru Dutt is also a predecessor in respect to the use of the tree in verse as demonstrated by “Our Casuarina Tree”, a predecessor in respect of childhood memories recalled with nostalgia or regret.The poets of the second phase, still romantic in spirit were Sarojini Naidu, Rabindranath Tagore, Aurobindo Ghose and Harindranth Chattopadhyaya. The poetic output of these poets was prolific. Romanticism of these Indian poets was fraught with nationalism, spirituality and mysticism. It was therefore different from English romanticism. Indian romanticism widened the poet’s vision. While Aurbindo’s was the search for the Divine in Man and Tagore’s was the quest for the beautiful in Man and Nature. Both were philosopher poets. Sarojini Naidu’s romantic muse underscored the charm and splendor of traditional Indian life and Indian scene. She had a fine ear for verbal melody as she was influenced not only by English poetry but also by the Persian and Urdu ongoing process of openness in form, reliable and unreliable narration with multiple points of view, and shifting focalisation. In this section of the anthology i.e. “Indian English Short Story” there are five well researched papers. The first paper titled “The women as bonded labourers: A study of Mahasweta Devi’s “Dhouli”, “Shanichari” and “The fairytale of Rajbasa” the author of this paper explores the stories of women who dare to transcend the confines of patriarchy, thereby redefining the ambit of the feminine space. The next paper “Women on the Threshold of Change in Shashi Deshpande’s Shorter Fiction” deals with the changing role of women with the changing time. The paper titled “Mother as a symbol of Compliance in Shashi Deshpande’s The Legacy and Other Stories” tries to portray the stains of agonized motherhood, which seem to come out of the pages, are a blot on a man’s face, who has for centuries, remained insensitive to her prayers, pleas and entreaties, what-so-ever. The paper “Myths Restructured in Shashi Deshpande’s Stone Women” puts forth the seemingly high-pedestalled goddesses in true colours, thus bringing home the crude fact that woman may try to change her form, appearance, position, attire and what not, but can never succeed in altering the male psyche, that has been moulded, dried and conditioned in the furnace of male dominance and superiority. The author of the paper titled “Empowered Women of Shashi Deshpande” tries to highlight how the protagonists of Deshpande now wish to have a whiff of free and fresh air for themselves.
